Salcura

Thankfully I have never suffered with any issues concerning the skin on my body. I moisturise daily and exfoliate every morning in the shower. Unfortunately not everyone has the same daily routine..

From talking to my clients I know the skin condition psoriasis can make sufferers feel uncomfortable, itchy and self-conscious throughout the day. Finding a treatment that actually works to relieve symptoms can be a lengthy and frustrating process.


It's hard to be motivated to commit to a time-consuming treatment that has worrying or unpleasant side effects.
People are concerned about using topical steroid or chemical-based creams because of thinning skin, irritation and other potential long term complications. Where possible they rather use a more natural product.
Traditional creams and coal tar remedies are greasy, smelly and staining, making them hard to apply as frequently as you need to.

Salcura products are made from natural, plant-based ingredients that are proven to deal with infection, inflammation and tissue damage: they contain absolutely no artificial chemicals, steroids or other pharmaceutical preparations. 

This makes them gentle on the skin and safe for babies, children and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.


Salcura DermaSpray comes in a liquid spray pump that enables it to penetrate the skin quickly, giving immediate relief from itching and burning. It's a great product for flare-ups or bouts of guttate psoriasis. For chronic sufferers, we recommend the additional use of Salcura Zeoderm, a fast-acting moisturiser for psoriasis that hydrates and aids the skin repair process. Used together with DermaSpray it can help you manage your psoriasis long term.

An effective psoriasis moisturiser is one that is used regularly over time. Salcura products are easy to apply and absorb rapidly into the skin without leaving a greasy residue – which is particularly beneficial for those with scalp psoriasis. 
You can build them into your normal daily routine and you won't need to wash them off or wait for them to sink in before getting dressed or going to bed. What's more, they won't stain your clothes, towels or bedding. They can even be sprayed directly through your tights throughout the day.

We know that what works for one person's psoriasis might not work for everyone, but if you're ready for something new you need to try Salcura for 30 days. 
If you don't agree that their products make a difference to your skin, they give you your money back.




Salcura products contain only the finest grade pure and natural ingredients from around the world. 
They use no artificial chemicals or pharmaceutical preparations such as cortisones, peroxides, parabens and paraffin. 
Ingredients are chosen for their bio-scientifically proven ability to deal with infection (fungal or bacterial), inflammation and tissue damage.

They go organic where they can
They NEVER test our products on animals
All products are suitable for vegetarians and vegans
None of their ingredients are genetically engineered or modified

The four main ingregients used by salcura are as follows:

Sea Buckthorn
Aides skin healing by promoting the regeneration of skin tissue. Anti-itch.

Manuka
Essential anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-histamine and anti-allergic properties.

Sandalwood
Infection controlled by its anti-septic, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory action.

Tea Tree
We use a high grade oil for its anti-septic, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.

I have been using the Salcura Shower gel and I love it, the natural fragrance is so pleasant for something that's completely free of added perfume.


I have also used the shampoo and conditioner, equally as nice, but truthfully these products are truly for people suffering with bad psoriasis. 

The shampoo is an effective, paraben-free, regular use hair wash product for dry and itchy scalps. Used on it's own or complimented by Salcura Conditioner, it's great at dealing with a problem scalp and leaves hair with a natural looking shine.
It contains no harmful artificial ingredients such as parabens and SLS

and is suitable for use during pregnancy / breast feeding.

I won't be giving up my Redken just yet but, the shower gel will hold a permanent position in my shower. 



We have just started stocking Salcura and are getting great feedback from our clients.
